Aurich Castle
Aurich Castle is located in the middle of the town of the same name in East Frisia and was once the government seat of the East Frisian princes. The baroque structure was built in the 16th century and later expanded – today it is a historically significant landmark with a representative character. Surrounded by a well-kept park, the ensemble not only impresses architecturally but also invites leisurely strolls. Particularly striking: the massive castle building with classicist elements that harmoniously fits into the cityscape.
The castle is currently used by the district government but remains a popular destination for visitors interested in the history of East Frisia. The area, with the castle park, the adjacent Historical Museum, and the old town of Aurich, offers a pleasant combination of culture, architecture, and relaxed urban flair.
